chazmelon (31st October 2009)So, Joe Kelly writes for "How I Met Your Mother?" Now I feel less dirty enjoying a sitcom from the same network that brings Yellow 6 Americans "Two and a Half Men." "Joe & Kate" -- and all web series that remind us how many smart comedians live and walk amongst us -- elevates teh intertubes so far above TV. Kill the network money trolls and make Purdy, Kelly and their ilk into house-hold names.

aprilffi (18th September 2009)I LOVE all these episodes. I laugh inside and outside sometimes too. How could you NOT get Mommy? They were saying pat lovey dovey names to each other and HE called her MOMMY! How is that not awkward, weird and hilarious all at once? I LOVE this show. I could be these people. I get them 100 percent. I agree if you don't have anything good to say then watch something else and leave this for FANS!!!
